bpf: drop unnecessary bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE command

Browse source

Seems like that extra bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE handler was
unintentionally left when we switched to a model that all BPF map
operations should be allowed regardless of CAP_BPF (or any other
capabilities), as long as process got BPF map FD somehow.

This patch replaces bpf_capable() check in BPF_MAP_FREEZE handler with
writeable access check, given conceptually freezing the map is modifying
it: map becomes unmodifiable for subsequent updates.
